Hey sweeties
I'm in desperate need of a hair cut and I just can't make up my mind. Have you ever thought you want one thing and then gone back on it and thought actually I changed my mind. Well that's how am being with my hair at the moment. I just can't decide weather I want a full fringe or keep it the way it is or go shorter then I'm thinking.
I change my mind every day and now my hair is getting pretty ridiculous. It keeps getting tangled and knotted and it's a damn pain.
But then again I love the length and I don't want to cut it too short because of what happened before (if you don't know what I'm talking about just click here to read my hair story).
After searching for a virtual hairdresser I came across a site called instyle and it did a virtual makeover. I clicked on it thinking it was going to be rubbish but I was actually pleasantly surprised so I just had to share it with you.
On there site you can try all sorts of celebrity hairstyles from Adele to Zooey Deschanel at just one click of a button. Best of all you can upload a photo of yourself and see what the hairstyle looks on you, like a try before you buy. Or you can choose one of there model pictures.
The site also lets you apply make up. So if you see a colour of eyeshadow or lipstick you like you can put it on the picture of yourself plus it tell you what that shade is, where it's from and how much. Another thing I like is you can try on celebrity completed looks and it tells you how you can achieve this look who was the make up artist who did it and insider tips.
I also like how you can save your looks and come back to them later on.
Bonus is it's all free all you have to do is register and start making over.

Who knows I might just find a hairstyle I like and post a picture maybe lol
Hope you enjoyed my post even though there's no pictures :(

My Hair Story (part 2)
Hey Sweeties
I know I promised this post would be up soon back in february and now its april but if you read my update you will know the four one one.
Moving swiftly on If you haven't already checked out my hair story part one you should go check that out it will give you tips on how not to come out with shorter hair then you expected plus my story on my hair and why it's taken me two years to get to the length it is right now.
Now we have that out of the way let's get on with the post
So as some of you already know my hair was extremely short and I hated my hair being so short I decided to grow my hair out. It took me about two years to grow it out as I said before. So your hair is not going to grow over night like I wanted it to, so you have to be patient with it. I tried pretty much everything to make my hair grow faster. But basically I found out that you can help your hair get to the length you oh so desire by using these tips.
❤ Eat a balanced diet
Yeah sounds wierd but true. Protein is pretty much essential for healty hair growth. Healthy hair = stronger hair = less spilt ends = length.
❤ Eat adequate amounts of iron and zinc plus dont cut fat out of your diet
Iron and zinc deficiencies can lead to poor hair health or even hair loss. So keep eating bread , pasta , peanut butter, ceral etc. without fat being in your diet your body can't maintain healthy hair.
❤ Be sure you have vitamins
Weather you eat oranges or have them out of a bottle for the same reasons as before they help maintain your hair healthy.
❤ Maintain good general health
eat well excersise and make sure you get enough sleep.
❤ Try to avoid perming, colouring , bleaching or generally using heat on your
hair
❤ Brush or comb your hair twice a day
I do this by flicking my head upside down sounds strange but I read some where that it suppose to help but I don't know if it actually does or doesn't.
❤ Avoid pulling at the roots and be gentle with your hair.
❤ Try not to use rubber bands for putting your hair up
❤ Try not to put your hair up in tight styles
❤ Get regular trims
I never really followed this rule I get my hair trimmed if I feel my hair has got to a point were I feel like it stopped growing.

My Hair Story (part 1)
Hey my lovelies ☺
Back in the days of when I was 17 I didn't really care about my hair I had never had a bad cut. By bad cut I mean getting a completely different style to what I wanted.
That was til my friend found out you can get free hair cuts at a local hair dressers. She reassured me as she had just come out of there herself and she looked amazing she explained that it wasn't a professional it was someone learning but who was going to become a professional soon. At the time it didn't really bother me hair is just hair it will grow back. Boy I wished I told myself no I will just wait til I have the money to get my hair done.
Now I am going to say it wasn't a bad cut it was actually a pretty nice style but it was too short for me and to me it emphaisized how round my face is.
Anyways I arrived to the appointment and you know how the drill goes wash your hair ask you would you like a cuppa ask you what you want that all went fine. I ended up being in there for 4 hours and I was only having my hair wash cut and blow dry. In the end the professional came over and ended up having to take over I ended up looking like this ....

It is not probably the best picture to show you of the hair but it's the only one I have with it that short. They were really nice and asked me if I liked it which I said yes trying to be positive but the moment I got home I ended up bursting into tears. I know that sounds probably stupid and everyone gave me complaints on it but I just didn't like it myself.
This hairstyle had alot of pros it took less time to wash it less time to style it
however you can only wear it one way and I like to wear my hair different ways.
I thought I would give you tips so that this never has to happen to you
❤ Always take a picture this will give the stylist more of a idea of what you want rather then tell them even if you only take a picture on your phone.
❤ This is really important but have a good communication with your hair stylist so they can better understand the look your going for.
❤ Don't just sit there speak up tell them what you think if there doing something wrong especially if your getting your hair coloured. I know plenty off people that have not spoken up because there to shy including myself.
❤ Show how much length you want cut off. People say I want 3inches cut off and it ended up being more like eight.
❤ Be nice just because your telling them what you think be nice about it this I thought is a pretty obvious one but I thought I would still include it.
❤ Listen to your stylist at the end of the day they are trained professionals.
I was going to include how to make your hair grow faster tips but this post is very long as it is so that will be on it's way very soon.
Hope you like the post
